The Dean family may have suffered its worst day in six generations of farming this week. On Monday morning, someone noticed the Galetta dairy farm’s 24-metre silo – full of corn silage – was leaning. The family evacuated 65 milking cows from the dairy barn below and some equipment was saved, but the silo was tilted too far to save. Bill and Helen Dean’s property, Fairburn Farms, is located on Highway 17, just north of Galetta Side Road. The silo, which was full to

within about four metres of the top, leaned further as the day went on and Bill had no choice but to topple the heavy structure because of the safety hazard. “Most of the milking equipment will be lost,” said 14-yearold Alexander Dean, one of Bill and Helen’s sons. “The hay and straw (inside the barn) will be lost.” When hydro power was cut to the barn during the morning, the family also lost the weekend’s milk, which was in a storage tank that requires constant refrigeration.

Saturday’s commissioning party of the Parish of Huntley St. James in Carp was a chance for parishioners to pat themselves on the back for a job well done and express their appreciation for a generous Trillium grant that helped make parish hall renovations a reality. Rev. Mark Whittall joined guests that included CarletonMississippi Mills MPP Norm Sterling; Ward 5 Coun. Eli ElChantiry; David Selzer, Executive Archdeacon of the Anglican Diocese of Ottawa; and Glenn Arthur, Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) representative
The parish hall is now equipped with a new wheel chair accessible washroom, automatic doors, and an elevator capable of accommodating both wheelchair users as well as those using scooters. Parishioner Jean Green was the ceremonial first user of the elevator and she couldn’t be happier with the facility. “This is just fantastic,” said Green, who, having had hip and knee replacement surgeries, is thrilled with the increased accessibility. Project manager Brenda Lobb praised all involved, including contractor Doug Rivington. See ‘CHURCH’ page 3
